Wayne County man bags $1 million scratch-off win

Rodrick Ford of Goldsboro tried his luck on a $30 scratch-off and won a $1 million top prize.

Ford bought his lucky Millionaire Maker ticket from S & N Quick Mart on North William Street in Goldsboro.

When Ford arrived Friday at lottery headquarters to collect his winnings, he had a decision to make. He could choose to receive his prize as an annuity of $50,000 over 20 years or a lump sum of $600,000. He chose the lump sum of $600,000 and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $429,009.

Play Smart, Gift Smart is the N.C. Education Lottery's annual campaign highlighting the risks of youth gambling. The campaign raises awareness that popular holiday scratch-offs should only be gifted to adults. In this year’s campaign, North Carolinians can donate school supplies at a lottery claim center, support a good cause, and get a chance to win a prize. Visit NCEL Play Smart for more information.
